This is a list of the 2014 Baltimore City homicide victims and additional information regarding age, incident location, notes, and event proximity to police surveillance cameras . Scroll down for the map and charts.

*Drug offenses, burglary, prostitution, domestic violence(this charge is not specific enough) and unauthorized taking of a vehicle charges are not considered violent. Violent offenses include murder, attempted murder, robbery and assaults.

**Affirmative if distance of a Baltimore Police Surveillance Camera(CCTV) location is one block or less of homicide event.

One suggestion for 2014 is to track the manner of shooting. Batt's commented that about 55% -60% of the shootings in 2013 were "head shots," which suggest organized crime and has repeatedly suggested commented that there is a growing trend of people getting more accurate, missing their targets less frequently.

A significant fraction of shooting victims do not actually die. The CDC does not have local statistics, but nationally its less than 20% (firearms deaths/(non-fatal firearms shootings + deaths). If In Baltimore, its 60%, that is substantially higher than the norm.

So if organized crime is getting better at it, it does not mean homicides are up because there are more shootings, it means they are up because shootings are more deadly. Given that the first 7 victims fall into the pattern of head shots (no details on the others so far), I'd have to say this pattern is holding up.

R.I.P. Cousin, my heart is broken after finding out that a heartless coward took your life. I feel angry, numb & I can't control my tears. I thought I was tough, but yet again, this cold, cruel world we live in has given our family a sucker punch to the heart. It's been awhile since some of us were together & when we are, we always miss those who aren't there during those times. Tonight & forever, our hearts hurt & forever broken. We love you & we miss you. With all my heart, love & soul, REST IN PEACE Cousin. And to the HEARTLESS COWARD who took our LOVED ONE'S life, I'm going to pray for you, but at the same time, I hope you see his face every night & may you NEVER rest in peace.

The Detroit homicide project is in the process of being handed over to a web designer who is actually in Detroit. It's really not right for me to be working on Detroit when I am not there and I cannot do the city justice. The new homicide tabulator is in the process of getting his site designed and should be up and running shortly. I will provide a link to the page when it is ready.

Yes, the police commissioner still has his job. He's in year two of what usually is only a three year gig. The commissioners get one year to get settled, another for everybody to realized that the commissioner will never get control over the racist selfish corrupt Baltimore City Police Department, and then a third for the mayor to capitulate to the will of the people and send them packing. It's going to take another 12 months.

The commissioner can't stop the guns from being imported. It's part of the elite's agenda called population reduction. They want to kill us all, babies as well. They programed our unconscious race to hate each other and wipe out our own kind by the masses.

I do understand that it is a New World Order in affect. I just wish that I could reach all African American people to stop killing each other. Together, we can stand! United we can fight! But dead, we are no help to anyone who is left fighting for change for us to live upon this Earth.

Najee, the 54th, was only 14. Just terrible. I don't see the time of the murder. If it is as late as it appears (after midnight? , one has to wonder why he was outside at such a late hour when school is the next day.I know I wouldn't have been allowed out.

this is gonna be a long holiday weeked with plenty of cookouts....family gatherings and other events ....that this is the time the city spikes in murders...so I wont be going to none...and I...pray for everyone in the city to be safe...because when someone get kulled where you work at you need to rethink things out....and places you go

A homicide is a deliberate killing. Latoya Skipwith and Joshua Carter were allegedly deliberately targeted by Lucresha Mints in her vehicle. However, Shanizya Taft may not have been deliberately targeted by the driver of the stolen vehicle. That doesnt' make Ms. Taft any less dead but unless more information is provided she won't be added to the list unless it can be proven she was deliberately killed.

Killing someone in furtherance of another felony like robbery or arson is generally 1st degree murder even if its not "deliberate". There are is a long list of felonies in the statute, killing someone while perpetrating them (or just attempting) is 1st degree. The person who is charged does not even have to have pulled the trigger, so to speak.

A man in a stolen vehicle (robbery) who kills someone with the vehicle is (or should be) charged with first degree murder, pretty sure that's how the police and prosecutor will see it here.

Right now we don't know who was driving the stolen vehicle. We don't know what the police and the prosecutor is going to do, if the person will be found and if they will be found alive. One charge that may be applicable if they find the perpetrator will be vehicular manslaughter by gross negligence, worth up to 10 years in prison. This was the charge levied against the man who killed Matthew Hersl in front of City Hall last year.

I thought they linked the DNA and fingerprints from the crime scenes. Sure, if the driver of the stolen vehicle was not the same, mere motor vehicle theft is not on the list of bad things you should not be doing while killing people, so it would only be vehicular homicide. Gotta love Maryland - little girl gets run over by a car thief trying to get away its not a real murder.

People are adding the names, pictures, obituaries and additional information about the victims to the Baltimore Crime and Homicide Facebook Group. If one wants to provide information anonymously they may write to me here and request I not publish the comment.

And to add to the above comment, if I receive a picture I place a link to it next to the age. If I am provided a nickname that goes into the Notes section. I suppose I should provide a separate column for this information but I am running out of space, as I am trying to keep this site as compact as possible. Maybe in 2015 I'll reformulate to make it all more explicit and easier.

The information regarding guns and gun registrations are rarely divulged in the States Attorney press release, which, if anywhere, that would be reported. But if it is provided I will make a notation in the "notes" section.

A question was asked about legal registration of firearms used in the homicides. According to Chief Batts in testimony before the House judiciary committee in 2013 regarding How much a problem straw purchases were, most firearms used in the commission of a crime in Baltimore are never recovered. therefore there are no statistics on how firearms used in Baltimore Crime are obtained.
